Official representatives of established companies will surely submit a whole package of documents. In the first turn, it will be the fire safety and hygiene certificate for the material. Enquire how long the company’s work experience and the guarantee period are. E.g., SkyStyle boasts twelve-year experience in the stretch ceiling market and grants a minimum ten-year guarantee for ceilings, and a minimum two-year guarantee for lighting.
